Manchester City and Liverpool Monitor £50m-Rated La Liga Defender
Manchester City and Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Real Sociedad defender Jon Aramburu as both Premier League giants assess their options at right-back.
The Venezuela international has attracted attention after positive reports from scouts, with Liverpool understood to have carried out checks on the 24-year-old.
Manchester City are also believed to be assessing Aramburu as part of their search for defensive options.
The defender has built a reputation for his consistency, defensive reliability and ability to operate on either side of the back line.
Those qualities could make him particularly attractive to clubs competing across multiple competitions.
Aramburu is reportedly under contract with Real Sociedad until 2030, giving the Spanish club significant protection.
However, reports indicate that his contract contains a release clause worth around £50 million.
That figure could become an important factor if either Premier League club decides to turn its interest into a formal approach.
Liverpool’s reported interest adds another layer to the situation, especially with both clubs looking at the same player.
Tottenham, Newcastle United, Everton and Fulham have also reportedly monitored the defender.
No transfer is imminent at this stage.
However, with several Premier League clubs reportedly carrying out checks, Aramburu could become one of the names to watch when the January window approaches.
